    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this chance. I have had the opportunity to listen to almost every Senator make their contribution; the majority who agree that this is the way to go and the few that maybe for one reason or the other thought otherwise, their views have also been listened to and for good reason. As leadership, we keep on learning every day. People are different and appreciate issues differently. Not everyone is made of the same temperament and cut from a particular cloth. So, you have to understand people. Leading a team as big as the one the Minority Leader or myself leads, calls for balance. Many things have been said and suggestions have been given including the possibility---. Sometimes people say things and you listen and wonder if they were in my position, would whatever they are saying be practical? That for every decision to be made, you must first call people into a meeting and ask which way. Surely, I do not think we will ever make any progress. It is the reality of life. We do not take lightly the various opposing views that we have listened to especially on what is justified. To me, the winner of it all is the Senator for Meru County who has just finished on the Floor. He speaks on behalf of the people of Meru County. He has the confidence of this House. He has said that whichever way this House decides, whether Plenary or Committee, he is comfortable in the interests of the greater people of Meru County, to get justice. He has agreed with the Motion as proposed and he believes in the Committees of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Prof) Kamar said something quite profound that if you vote in support of this Committee, you are simply voting to affirm that you believe in the Committees of this House. This Committee is not different from any other of our Committees."
